The blue grotto was a memorable experience
There were good points and some trying points on this tour. The guide was very friendly and we really enjoyed talking to her. Seeing the blue grotto is a little chaotic, worth it but know what you’re getting into. We came off a cruise ship, caught a ferry to Capri, then a smaller boat out to the grotto then had to transfer to a row boat. It was a bit physically challenging for an older person in our group. We sat in the sun for over an hour waiting on a row boat, someone from another family became sea sick. There’s really no line, the boat operators are begging a row boat to show them favor and ultimately I had to tip 20 euro to get on one. Then we transferred again to the larger boat to get back to Capri to catch a ferry. We did not have any free time in Capri. Then we caught a ferry to Positano. We had lunch and shopped but at the end we had to climb steep stairs and streets to get to the top for The driver to pick us up. I’ve done the Amalfi Coast 2 other times and was picked up at a lower spot. It was very physically difficult for my mother in her 60s. Overall the blue grotto was memorable and I’m glad we did it. I wish we had just stayed in Capri for the day and that the climb up in Positano would have been disclosed.
Response from the operator: Dear Crystal, thank you for taking the time to write this review. We're glad you liked the tour even you felt it was a little challenging for you. Positano is the vertical town with no elevator and no escalator because otherwise it would destroy the beauty, authenticity and the ancient part of the town. We hope next time you will still choose us and enjoy our private tour only in Capri with your mother :)

Fun day in Capri!
Luigi was our guide and was very knowledgeable, fun, and gave great recommendations! The blue grotto was closed the day of our trip but we still had a great time on the boat tour and enjoyed the day! Would recommend to get the whole island of Capri in in one day.

Highly recommend
Our guide was fantastic, friendly and knowledgeable. We saw the most beautiful parts of Capri and Positano and had some time to explore on our own also.

Capri, Blue Grotto & Positano Private Shore Excursion from Naples with Top Guide: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Naples.
How much does Capri, Blue Grotto & Positano Private Shore Excursion from Naples with Top Guide cost?
+
Prices start at $790 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Naples usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Capri, Blue Grotto & Positano Private Shore Excursion from Naples with Top Guide take?
+
Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Naples is not rushed.
Is Capri, Blue Grotto & Positano Private Shore Excursion from Naples with Top Guide worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 55 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Naples, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Capri, Blue Grotto & Positano Private Shore Excursion from Naples with Top Guide?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Capri, Blue Grotto & Positano Private Shore Excursion from Naples with Top Guide suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Capri, Blue Grotto & Positano Private Shore Excursion from Naples with Top Guide?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Naples can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Naples and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Capri, Blue Grotto & Positano Private Shore Excursion from Naples with Top Guide start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Naples within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Naples?
+
On Outty we rank every Naples experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Caserta Royal Palace & Gardens Small Group Tour with Shuttle, Naples Guided Tour by Bike, Naples Pizza and Tiramisu Cooking Class. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Naples?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Naples?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
